Abstract

The introduction of a foreign material into living tissue intentionally as in biomedical applications (implants, prostheses, drugs) or unintentionally as when minerals or fibers are inhaled results in the creation of interfaces between the material and the surrounding tissue. The material surface properties and molecular processes at such interface play a major role.
